Brief Summary
This is a phase I, open label study to evaluate the safety, identify the recommended dose (RD) and obtain preliminar evidence of the efficacy of allogeneic, CD19-directed Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (alloCAR-T) cells in pediatric and young adults patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (BCP-ALL).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Safety and establishment of Dose limited Toxicity (DLT) of the infusion of CD19-CAR_Lenti_ALLO cells in pediatric and young adults patients affected by relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL in each dose level
DLT is defined as any of the following events: (1) Grade III-IV GvHD refractory to first and second line treatment and chronic GvHD refractory to first and second-ine treatment; (2) any grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity; (3) grade 4 reactions realted to anti-alloCART infusion; (4) death related to alloCART infusion. The Maximum Tolerated Dose/Recommended Dose (MTD/RD) of CD19-CAR\_Lenti\_ALLO to be evaluated for efficacy in the phase II extension will be defined as the highest dose level at which \<33% of patients (no more than 1 out of 6) experience DLT.
28 days
Secondary Outcomes (8)
To estimate the rate of occurrence of acute GvHD
1 year
To estimate the severity of acute GvHD (according to the MAGIC criteria)
1 year
To estimate the rate of occurrence of chronic GvHD
1 year
To estimate the severity of chronic GvHD (according to the NIH 2014 criteria)
1 year
To confirm the safety of the approach at the MTD/RD dose
28 days

Study Arms (1)
Single arm
EXPERIMENTALA single IV infusion of CD19-CAR\_Lenti\_ALLO (allogeneic CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cells) on Day 0 after lymphodepletion. Patients will be divided in two cohorts based on donor HLA matching: cohort A (fully matched, familial or unrelated donor); cohort B (haploidentical donor). Patients will receive the following lymphodepletion: * Fludarabine (Flu) 30 mg/m2 per day on days -5, -4 and -3 * Cyclophosphamide (Cyclo) 1000 mg/m2 per day on days -5, -4 and -3. CD19-CAR\_Lenti\_ALLO will be infused at the following dose levels: Cohort A: * DL1: 3.0 x10\^6 CAR+ cells/kg * DL2: 5.0x10\^6 CAR+ cells/kg Cohort B: * DL1: 1x10\^6 CAR+ cells/kg * DL2: 3x10\^6 CAR + cells/kg If 2 DLT are observed in the dose level 1, an additional DL0 of 2.0x10\^6 CAR+ cells/kg (cohort A) or 0.5x10\^6 CAR+ cells/kg (cohort B) will be explored.
Interventions
Biological/Vaccine: CD19-CAR\_Lenti\_ALLO A single infusion of CD19-CAR\_Lenti\_ALLO on Day 0
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with a diagnosis of CD19 expressing B ALL relapse, and one of the following:
- Relapse after alloHSCT OR
- Relapsed/refractory disease, with failure of frontline therapy and at least 2 rescue strategies, including CD19/CD22-directed monoclonal antibody and availability of a fully matched related donor.
- CD19+ count ≥ 50 cells/mcl and/or Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) ≥ 10\^-4.
- Voluntary informed consent. For subjects \< 18-years old their legal guardian must give informed consent. Pediatric subjects will be included in age-appropriate discussion and verbal assent will be obtained for those greater than or equal to 12 years of age, when appropriate.
- Clinical performance status: patients \> 16 years of age: Karnofsky greater than or equal to 60%; patients ≤ 16 years of age: Lansky score than or equal to 60%.
- Patients of child-bearing or child-fathering potential must be willing to practice birth control from the time of enrollment on this study and for 4 months after receiving the lymphodepletion regimen.
- Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test because of the potentially dangerous effects on the fetus.
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnant or lactating women.
- Severe, uncontrolled active intercurrent infections.
- HIV, or active HCV and/or HBV infection.
- Life-expectancy \< 6 weeks or rapidly progressive disease that in the evaluation of the investigator would compromise ability to complete study therapy.
- Hepatic function: inadequate liver function defined as total bilirubin \> 4x upper limit of normal (ULN) or transaminase (ALT and AST) \> 6x ULN.
- Renal function: serum creatinine \>3x ULN for age.
- Blood oxygen saturation \< 90%.
- Cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction lower than 45% by ECHO.
- Congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, psychiatric illness, or social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or in the opinion of the PI would pose an unacceptable risk to the subject.
- Presence of active, grade 2-4 acute or chronic Graf versus Host Disease (GvHD) requiring steroid therapy or other immune-suppressive treatment.
- Relapse occurring before 60 days after alloHSCT.
- Concurrent or recent prior therapies, before infusion:
- ii. systemic chemotherapy in the 2 weeks preceding infusion of CD19-CAR\_Lenti\_ALLO cells .
- iii. anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) or Alemtuzumab (Campath®)in the 8 weeks preceding infusion of CD19-CAR\_Lenti\_ALLO cells .
- iv. immuno-suppressive agentis in the 2 weeks preceding infusion of CD19-CAR\_Lenti\_ALLO cells
- +7 more criteria
